Ice Cream Socials

Starting in 1984, the Ice Cream Socials provide a way to bring some of the Carnation Festival to those whom don't get out as often. Visiting on average eight nursing care / assisted living facilities, the Ice Cream Social committee arranges for the Queen and Court to visit and help provide some entertainment featuring sing-alongs of older songs that bring back memories for residents. Of course as the Event is titled, the committee serves a dish of ice cream to residents while the Queen and Court visit.
